    Abstract This study presents an efficient super-resolution (SR) method for targets observed by satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR). First, a small target image is extracted from a large-scale SAR image and undergoes proper preprocessing. The preprocessing step is adaptively designed depending on the types of movements of targets. Next, the principal scattering centers of targets are extracted using the compressive sensing technique. Subsequently, an impulse response function (IRF) of the satellite SAR system (IRF-S) is generated using a SAR image of a corner reflector located at the calibration site. Then, the spatial resolution of the IRF-S is improved by the spectral estimation technique. Finally, according to the SAR signal model, the super-resolved IRF-S is combined with the extracted scattering centers to generate a super-resolved target image. In our experiments, the SR capabilities for various targets were investigated using quantitative and qualitative analysis. Compared with conventional SAR SR methods, the proposed scheme exhibits greater robustness towards improvement of the spatial resolution of the target image when the degrees of SR are high. Additionally, the proposed scheme has faster computation time (CT) than other SR algorithms, irrespective of the degree of SR. The novelties of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) the practical design of an efficient SAR SR scheme that has robustness at a high SR degree; (2) the application of proper preprocessing considering the types of movements of targets (i.e., stationary, moderate motion, and complex motion) in SAR SR processing; (3) the effective evaluation of SAR SR capability using various metrics such as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM), focus quality parameters, and CT, as well as qualitative analysis.

    Abstract Objective: The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Obsessions and Compulsions (AAQ-OC) is a version of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ) that specifically measures unwanted intrusive thoughts and responses (e.g., experiential avoidance) to them. This study aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the AAQ-OC in clinical and nonclinical Korean samples.
    Methods: In this study, 561 university students and 121 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) completed the AAQ-OC and several other psychological scales. Descriptive, correlation, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses as well as group comparisons were conducted.
    Results: The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated a two-factor structure that best fits the data in the university sample: Factors 1 and 2 matched the original Valued Action and Willingness subscales, respectively. The reliability analyses revealed that the AAQ-OC and its factors had excellent internal consistencies. As regards the concurrent validity, the AAQ-OC and its factors had a positive correlation with the AAQ-II and Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire. Compared with the university students, the OCD patients had higher AAQ-OC scores, and their obsessive-compulsive symptoms, particularly the two symptom dimensions of responsibility for harm and mistakes and unacceptable thoughts, were significantly associated with the AAQ-OC and two subscales.
    Conclusion: The findings of this study confirm the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the AAQ-OC.

    Abstract Recently, target analysis using satellite SAR images has received much attention in the area of satellite SAR remote sensing. Because the spatial resolution of the target response in the satellite SAR image is a main factor that has a large effect on target analysis performances, the improvement of the spatial resolution of target response is required to enhance the target analysis capability. However, the spatial resolution is already determined in the satellite SAR system design process. To solve the above problem, the super-resolution techniques that have been applied to radar images can be utilized. However, the application of the super-resolution techniques to the target response in the satellite SAR image is not simple due to the following reasons. First, the target's motion induces severe blurring of the target response, which impedes the successful improvement of spatial resolution. Next, the zero-region in the frequency spectrum of the target image containing the target response also hinders the generation of the super-resolved image. To successfully improve spatial resolution of the satellite SAR image, the super-resolution techniques should be combined with proper preprocessing steps that can cope with the above two issues. In this paper, the whole super-resolution procedure for target responses in KOMPSAT-5 images is described. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the description of the whole super-resolution procedure for target responses is the first ever attempt in the area of satellite SAR. First, a target image containing the target response is extracted from a large-scale KOMPSAT-5 image. Subsequently, the target image is transformed to be appropriate for the utilization of super-resolution techniques by proper preprocessing steps, considering the direction of super resolution and the motion of the target. Then, some super-resolution techniques are utilized to improve the spatial resolutions and qualities of the target images. The super-resolution performances of the proposed scheme are validated using various target images for point static, extended static, and extended moving targets. The novelties of this paper can be summarized as follows: (1) the practical design of whole super-resolution processing for real satellite SAR images; (2) the performance evaluation of super-resolution techniques on real satellite SAR images. The results show that the proposed scheme can led to noticeable improvements of spatial resolution of the target images for various types of targets with reliable computation times. In addition, the proposed scheme also enhanced PSLR, ISLR, and IC, leading to clearer scattering information of the principal scatterers. Consequently, the proposed method can assist in extracting more precise and meaningful information for targets represented in KOMPSAT-5 images, which means great potential for target recognition.

    Abstract Metagenomic sequencing methods provide considerable genomic information regarding human microbiomes, enabling us to discover and understand microbial diseases. Compositional differences have been reported between patients and healthy people, which could be used in the diagnosis of patients. Despite significant progress in this regard, the accuracy of these tools needs to be improved for applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. MDL4Microbiome, the method developed herein, demonstrated high accuracy in predicting disease status by using various features from metagenome sequences and a multimodal deep learning model. We propose combining three different features, i.e., conventional taxonomic profiles, genome-level relative abundance, and metabolic functional characteristics, to enhance classification accuracy. This deep learning model enabled the construction of a classifier that combines these various modalities encoded in the human microbiome. We achieved accuracies of 0.98, 0.76, 0.84, and 0.97 for predicting patients with inflammatory bowel disease, type 2 diabetes, liver cirrhosis, and colorectal cancer, respectively; these are comparable or higher than classical machine learning methods. A deeper analysis was also performed on the resulting sets of selected features to understand the contribution of their different characteristics. MDL4Microbiome is a classifier with higher or comparable accuracy compared with other machine learning methods, which offers perspectives on feature generation with metagenome sequences in deep learning models and their advantages in the classification of host disease status.

    Abstract Introduction: The long-term cognitive outcomes after transient global amnesia (TGA) have been contradictory in the literature. Our study aimed to longitudinally investigate the association between TGA and incident dementia using long-term data from a nationwide population-based cohort in South Korea.
    Methods: The study population was recruited between 2002 and 2020 using the International Classification of Diseases (tenth revision; ICD-10) codes from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. The cumulative incidence curve was plotted to compare the incidence of dementia between the TGA (ICD-10 code G45.4; n = 10,276) and non-TGA (n = 27,389) groups, determined using 1:3 propensity score matching. Using Cox proportional hazard regression models, we obtained crude and adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the incident dementia in patients with TGA compared to non-TGA controls. To examine independent variables determining dementia in the TGA group, logistic regression analysis was performed, and adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% CIs were calculated.
    Results: The TGA group had a significantly higher cumulative incidence of dementia than the non-TGA group (p <0.001, log-rank test). TGA was significantly associated with incident dementia in the univariate and multivariate Cox models (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.28-1.39 and aHR 1.40, 95% CI 1.34-1.46, respectively). The adjusted logistic regression for incident dementia in the TGA group showed that age (per 1 year, aOR 1.09, 95% CI 1.09-1.10), female sex (aOR 1.31, 95% CI 1.18-1.45), diabetes (aOR 1.21, 95% CI 1.08-1.35), stroke (aOR 1.30, 95% CI 1.16-1.46), depression (aOR 1.53, 95% CI 1.33-1.76), anxiety (aOR 1.24, 95% CI 1.01-1.39), and rural residence (aOR 1.24, 95% CI 1.10-1.41) were independently associated with incident dementia.
    Conclusion: Our results suggest a longitudinal association of TGA with incident dementia.
